From Scott Madaski:

I beg your pardon? A satellite uplink housed in one's cranium? Drawing from
data previously stated regarding C^2 decks: the known precepts regarding the
proposed "remote" system access, it is stated within the rules that due to
technological limitations, one may not "deck" using a cybernetic telepone, and
that no such devices for this purpose yet exist.
Evidently, the Dark Lord on High is unwilling to permit shadowrunners
the luxury of system infiltration wherever they feel so inclined.
Extrapolating from this information, even were it possible to
cybernetically implant a satellite uplink one would not be able to use it for
technomancing purposes. Although, I would further conjecture that the mere
idea of installation an EXTREMELY unlikely proposition--I do not believe such
devices exist in cybernetic form. Consider, for a moment, the Essence cost of
such an device. This viewpoint is further borne out by the fact that they have
not appeared in any list of cybernetic apparatus in any of the sourcebooks.
Were I Game Master of a group whose technomancer inquired as to the
feasibility of this idea, I would answer in the resounding negative.
